JAKARTA - Prospective vice president number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka distributes free milk to residents in the car free day (CFD) area or motor vehicle free day (HBKB) on Jalan MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta.
This activity was carried out by Gibran on the sixth day of the 2024 presidential election campaign period. However, Gibran emphasized that the distribution of free milk in the CFD area was not a campaign activity that was usually accompanied by an invitation to vote.
"It's without the APK ( campaign props). This is empty and we don't do taxation for voting or anything, right. No," said Gibran at the CFD location, Jalan MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta, Sunday, December 3.
The implementation of CFD should not actually be colored by political activities. It is stated in Article 7 of Governor Regulation Number 12 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Motor Vehicle Free Day, it is stated that the HBKB should not be used for the benefit of political parties and SARA as well as an inciting invitation oration.
In this activity, Gibran, who was accompanied by his wife, Selvi Ananda, distributed milk and greeted the community from the front of the Sari Pacific Hotel to Sarinah. Several residents asked for a photo with President Joko Widodo's son.
Gibran then explained the reason why he distributed free milk to people who were exercising in the CFD area. According to him, CFD is the most appropriate location to visit large numbers of people.
"Yes, we choose the closest location and the most mass. One of our programs is a free lunch and milk program," he said.
For information, the distribution of milk to free lunch is being intensified by the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
The National Campaign Team (TKN) said that as many as 82.9 million Indonesian children would get free lunch and milk if Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka were elected as President and Vice President in the upcoming 2024 General Election.
"A total of 82.9 million, maybe children from PKH will be selected first or the children of people who receive social assistance, who are members of the integrated social welfare data (dtks) which has been approved by the Ministry of Social Affairs," said Secretary of TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Nusron Wahid at the TKN Prabowo-Gibran Media Center, Tuesday, November 28.
Chairman of TKN Prabowo-Gibran Rosan Roeslani explained that the distribution of free lunch for school children and students as well as free milk for children and pregnant women during the campaign was the introduction of the number two presidential and vice presidential program.
Currently, the financing for the program is still sourced from the self-help of TKN and TKD which will be continued through the relevant ministries if Prabowo becomes president.
"This free lunch and milk program is for the public so that they know that the program to be implemented is correct. This is for our own self-help from TKN and TKD. Of course, if Pak Prabowo and Mas Gibran are elected as president of Indonesia, of course, they will involve as we have said, ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Health and the BKKBN," explained Rosan.
The target for distributing free lunch on campaign days is so that later Prabowo and Gibran can improve government programs. Especially for aid recipients to be more targeted.
"That's why we started to carry out this on the first day of our campaign period and this was done door to door. So, we did not collect the masses but this was done directly door to door," he said.
